It's the End of 2013 and Kendrick Lamar Is The Best Rapper Alive

After four full-length projects, including the brand new album DAMN., the 29-year-old Kendrick Lamar has cemented his spot among hip-hop's elite. He may not have the most hits or radio play, but when it comes to consistency, technical ability, and boundary-pushing content, he's always at the forefront. But is he the best doing it?

In the wake of his latest release, we took to the streets of New York and talked to hip-hop fans about whether or not they think Kendrick Lamar is the best rapper alive. In the process, we got their thoughts on Drake, Big Sean, Jay Z, and what it takes to be the best. Watch above, and subscribe to Pigeons & Planes on YouTube for more.
